We have an incredible capacity for the worst possible evil, all of us, it was that we also have this incredible capacity for good.

As Faulkner says, all of us have the capacity in us for great good and for great evil, for love but also for hate. I wanted to write those kinds of complex character in a fantasy, and not just have all the good people get together to fight the bad guy.
